If you are thinking of a Craigslist proxy, you can go about it two ways. Via renting or just by setting it up yourself. When is it best to rent and when is it best to setup your own? If you are posting a lot of ads each day on Craigslist, you should probably consider creating your own server. Just how much is a lot? Posting anywhere above 30 ads a day, would mean that I would consider setting up my own. Less than this and you should be ok with renting IPs from someone else. Renting IPs from other people is fine, but usually they come at a much higher price compared to setting up your own. If you need to post a lot of ads on Craigslist, look at investing into your own Craigslist proxy instead of renting from someone else. You can save heaps over time.

Are you putting ads on on Craigslist via a Craigslist Proxy? If so, does Craigslist know just what you are up to? This depends entirely on how anonymous your Craigslist Proxy is. If you are using an exclusive or proxy server for Craigslist that you setup yourself and are the only one with access, most likely what you are doing is completely safe from the prying eyes of Craigslist. However, if you are posting on Craigslist with a free or shared proxy server, then there is a good chance that everything you are doing is completely visible. Shared & free proxies typically offer less security and are not anonymous, something which is vital to successfully post ads on Craigslist. The main reason is due to their how anonymous they are and that elite proxy servers typically can not be detetected as a proxy server. Furthermore, you may be using a server that has several people on it who also post on Craigslist.. Do you want to share a proxy server with 50 other people who are also posting on Craigslist? Obviously not. If you are using an elite Craigslist Proxy then you should be safe and anonymous on Craigslist.

Finding that you always get ads flagged on Craigslist? A lot of people seem to think that ads are flagged due to some IP or proxy reason.. Usually this isn't the problem.

Craigslist users flag ads, not Craigslist itself. You will find that your ads are usually flagged for these reasons:

A. What you are posting on Craigslist is spam or perceived as spam. In terms of content, posting frequency or posting locations.

B. Someone else who is in the same market as you has decided to flag your ads so they can sell more. You will find that they are just delibrately flagging your ads wherever possible. You will find that such groups of this kind exist with the sole purpose of flagging people off Craigslist.

The main cause of your ad getting flagged is usually one of the above. It usually is not due to your Craigslist proxy.

Thinking about setting up a Craigslist Proxy and curious about why or if a password is really needed to access it?. Having to constantly enter usernames and passwords when changing IPs can be tiring but should not be neglected. Proxy servers are machines out in the open on the internet and therefore can potentially be accessed by anyone. Even though there are millions of other IP addresses out on the internet this does not make it impossible to find your proxy server IP. In this day and age there are a multitude of tools that can make IP scanning a very simple process and allow someone to scan thousands and thousands of IPs in a very short time. Make sure that whenever you setup a proxy that you always make it password protected. If someone else gains access to your proxy server then you can be held liable for any damages that they do through the use of it. Instead of not using a password, look to use software the can save usernames and passwords for the IP ports on your proxy to save time. Use these instead as they will achieve what you want (speeding up the login process) but also alow you to retain the high level of security that your Craigslist Proxy requires.

Ads won't show up on Craigslist? Can't figure it out? This could be due to a number of reasons why you might be having problems getting ads to appear on Craigslist. These tips should help you to get your ads to stick.

First, don't use words that you think might not be suitable for the category. If you are posting in the for sale section, avoid posting unrelated ads such as work at home ads. Craigslist has several spam filters in place that constantly monitor for any unrelated or irrelevant keywords. Each section on Craigslist is different and most likely uses a different set of filters. Second, don't use html codes outside of what Craigslist supports. Craigslist lists on their site which html codes they permit and using unsupported codes may mean your ads are blocked. Third, try to limit how many ads you post each day. If possible try and post 1 ad from 1 IP each day and no more. Posting more than this this will work, but posting an excessive amount of ads increases the chances that you will be flagged. Finally, don't post ads with external html images. There are sections which allow you to link to external images but doing so does increase the chance of your ad being blocked. Other sections do not permit images at all and all ads with images are blocked.

Getting up ads on Craigslist can cause a lot of stress, but by following the above tips you should reduce the amount of trouble. You may also consider looking into a Craigslist proxy to improve the rate of your ads going live.

Web proxies are a commonly known and used proxy resource. There is a common belief held by many that a webproxy is suitable to be used as a Craigslist proxy. However, this couldn't be further from the truth. One of the biggest problems with web proxies is that they are not anonymous. If you want to be able to post advertisements on Craigslist with as little trouble as possible then this is something you need to pay attention to. As mentioned, webproxies are not anonymous and they do not hide the fact that they are a proxy. This being the case, Craigslist simply needs to first query an IP and check for any signs that it is a proxy and if this is the case all ads are blocked. Webproxies are easy to setup and usually free making people believe that they are a good and plentiful solution to post ads with on Craigslist. This obviously doesn't work and they quickly become frustrated. If you are looking to post ads on Craigslist then you will have to fork out a few dollars and setup your own Craigslist proxy to be able to post ads successfully.

How many IPs you get on your proxy server depends on a few things. First, how much money do you have and secondly how many ads do you want to post. Not having enough IPs on your proxy obviously means you will be limited in the number of ads you can post. So if you are looking to posts heaps of ads make sure that you get as many IPs as you can afford. Would a few ads each day be all you need to put on Craigslist? Or are you looking to post hundreds of ads everyday? For those who would be happy with just one or two ads, one IP on your proxy server would be more than enough. Anymore than this would be a waste of money and resources. However, if you need more than one hundred ads per day you should look at getting anywhere from 5 to 10 IPs to begin. Generally speaking, for every IP that you have on your proxy server you can post approximately 10 ads. This will allow you to easily and quickly evaluate if you have enough or not enough IPs on your Craigslist proxy to fullfil your posting needs.

Do you own or will you be setting up a Craigslist Proxy soon? If so make sure you get IPs from as many different C class IP ranges as possible. C class IP ranges aren't talked about much, but if you post any quantity of ads on Craigslist without using different C class IP ranges you are potentially making it very easy for Craigslist to track your activities.

IPs are divided into different ranges, A B C and D. Ranges are used to keep track of and log the network and ID of the network. Everyone on the internet is assigned an IP which is used to identify them while they are online. The most common method used to change your IP is by reconnecting to the internet, but most of the time the new IP your ISP gives you is still within the same range. This makes it easy for companies to log your activities, as even though you have changed your IP, it has not been changed to the extent that they are unable to make any connection between your old and new IP. It is more than possible that this is exactly what Craigslist uses as part of their system to filter out spam. Using different C class IP ranges on your proxy server would definitely make it much harder or almost impossible for Craigslist to do this.

As mentioned above, using IPs in the same C class IP range may make it possible for Craigslist to detect your activity even though you could be using several different accounts (as your new IP is similar to the last and may make it possible for your activity to be flagged or detected). This also applies to proxy servers and is why you should consider getting IPs from as many different C class IP ranges as possible. Generally speaking, most IPs on proxy servers are all from the same C class IP range, this is something you should try to avoid. Anonymity is very important for anyone posting on Craigslist, so be sure to get a Craigslist Proxy with IPs in different C class IP ranges.

The exact number of IPs you should get with your proxy is dependant on a few factors. The first is what kind of budget do you have to spend on your proxy server and secondly what quantity of ads are you looking to post daily. Not having enough IPs on your proxy obviously means you will be limited in the number of ads you can post. If you want to post a lot of ads buy as many IPs as your budget will allow you. Are you just going to post one or two ads on Craigslist a day? Or are you looking to post hundreds of ads everyday? Anyone who wants to be a casual poster and post only a few ads shouldn't need more than 1 IP on their proxy server. Anymore than this would be a waste of money and resources. However, if you need more than one hundred ads per day you should look at getting anywhere from 5 to 10 IPs to begin. Generally speaking, for every IP that you have on your proxy server you can post approximately 10 ads. So that should give you a quick rule to check to see if you have enough IPs on your Craigslist proxy to allow you to post enough ads on Craigslist.
